Vernacular Buddhist scriptures
Mahayana sutra
Fasting meat is the eighth kind.
At that time, the Great Wisdom Bodhisattva also said to the Buddha, "Dear Buddha, please tell us the merits of not eating meat and the faults of eating meat, so that after other great bodhisattvas and I know what they mean, I can tell them separately those sentient beings who want to eat meat in the future and now, so that they can give up their carnal desires, seek the happiness of dharma taste, show great compassion for all sentient beings, love each other more, treat all sentient beings like a son, live in the land of Bodhisattva, and be enlightened or take second place." Buddha, Luke Yato and other pagans have their own opinions and opinions, insist on breaking the rules and are forbidden to eat meat, not to mention the great sadness that the world can rely on. How can they allow themselves or others to eat meat? Very good! Dear Buddha, he is compassionate and regards all beings as one. Please explain the advantages and disadvantages of eating meat and not eating meat, so that I can be a bodhisattva. After hearing it, I will follow it respectfully and tell others widely.
At that time, the Buddha said to Bodhisattva Dahui: Dahui, listen carefully, and I will explain it to you separately. Great wisdom is foolish, and all beings have infinite karma. Bodhisattva should be merciful and not eat. I'll give you a brief explanation today. Great wisdom, all beings come from nowhere and are constantly in the cycle of life and death. They used to be parents, brothers, men and women, family members and even relatives and friends. Among them, they were born on three evil roads and became animals, animals and so on. How can they eat animals, animals and other meat? Dahui, the audience of the Great Bodhisattva is like their own bodies. All meat comes from all living beings. How do we eat it? Da Hui, after hearing what I said, evil spirits dare not eat meat any more, let alone people who take pleasure in Buddhism. Great wisdom, the Great Bodhisattva lives everywhere and regards all beings as relatives, even sons, so they should not eat all the meat.
Dahui is a butcher in the nearby market, selling dogs, horses, cows, sheep and other meats for profit. How to eat these dirty things? Dahui, all meat is made of blood. How can people who pursue purity eat? Great wisdom, a carnivore, is well known because of fear. How can a person who cultivates kindness eat meat? Great wisdom, hunters and butchers, fishing nets and other wicked people bark when they see them, while animals run away when they see them. All creatures in the sky, land and water will be frightened if they see such people, and they will be regarded as evil souls. When they saw such people coming, they thought they had come to kill them. In order to survive, they all fly away, and so do predators. So the bodhisattva is merciful.
Dahui, a carnivore, has a dirty body and a notorious reputation. He is a saint and a kind person. He dare not go near him, so the Bodhisattva should not eat meat. Great wisdom, flesh and blood, etc. Being despised by many immortals and not eaten by all sages, bodhisattvas should not eat meat. Great wisdom, Bodhisattva protects the confidence of all beings from slandering Buddhism, so they should not eat meat because of compassion.
Great wisdom, if my disciples eat meat, which makes all the people in the world laugh at it, they will say: Why do pure Samaritans not eat what the gods eat, but wander around the world full of wine and meat like evil beasts, which makes all sentient beings fear, have bad cleaning behavior and lose the way of Samadhi, so we should know that there is no Samadhi in Buddhism, and Bodhisattva is merciful to protect all sentient beings and prevent them from eating meat. Great wisdom is like burning human flesh, and it stinks as much as burning the meat of other creatures. How can you eat raw food in the middle? Therefore, all people who cultivate purity should not eat meat.
Great wisdom, good faith in men and women, when practicing clean walking in graves, forests, temples and other places, either live in kindness, hold spells, seek liberation, or practice Mahayana. If they eat meat, all kinds of practices will be hindered and will not be realized. Therefore, if Bodhisattva wants to be selfish and altruistic, he should not eat meat. Even the wisest man is foolish, and meat eaters are greedy when they see flesh color. All beings are like their own bodies. How can they consider it? Therefore, Bodhisattva should not eat meat.
Dahui, a carnivore, was shunned by the gods. His mouth often stinks and he is restless when he sleeps. When he woke up, he was worried and scared. The evil spirits in the hag robbed him of his essence. He was restless all day, unable to eat, prone to sores and tinea, and often bitten by poisonous insects. How can he talk about future achievements? Da Hui, I often say that anyone who eats should be regarded as eating the meat of his parents. How can he allow his disciples to be greedy for meat? Even the wisest man is foolish, the meat is not beautiful and the meat is unclean. Eating meat will lead to all kinds of sins and lose all kinds of merits. Immortals and saints don't eat meat. How can they allow their disciples to eat meat? If I allow my disciple to eat meat, this person is slandering me.
Grey, those clean foods should eat japonica rice, millet, barley, beans, ghee, honey and so on. These are foods allowed by the Buddha in the past, and I often say they are edible. All the good men and women in my caste are sincere in heart, have planted good roots long ago, are not greedy for life, jewelry and money, and are kind to all beings. They regard all beings as their own, and only eat what saints should eat, and the rest are not allowed.
Dahui, there was once a king named Lion King. He liked to eat meat and all kinds of meat. As time went on, as for cannibalism, his subjects were very miserable. They all defected, and as a result, they lost their throne and suffered great pain. Emperor Dahui is the Emperor of Heaven. Because he used to eat meat, other bad habits turned him into an eagle, which chased pigeons. I was the king of resin at that time, and I was very kind to pigeons, so I cut off my own meat and fed it to the eagle to save the pigeon's life. Dahui, the emperor's remaining habits still turned him into an eagle and chased all beings, not to mention other shameless carnivores. When you know that the meat eater is annoyed by him, the Bodhisattva should not eat meat.
Dahui, once upon a time there was a king who rode and hunted. The horse was frightened and ran into the forest. There is no way back, and it is barren. At that time, there was a lioness living with her. She had many children, the largest of which was named Banzu. Later, she became king, leading 700 million families. Because of her habit of eating meat, she first ate animals, and later even ate human flesh.
Dahui, meat eaters have such infinite shortcomings that they are forbidden to eat meat. Those who don't eat meat can achieve great success. Anyone who doesn't know what's at stake here, I'll give you a speech today. No one who eats meat should eat meat. Dahui, most of the things that kill are for people to eat. People don't kill if they don't eat meat, so eating meat is the same as killing. It's amazing! People all over the world are greedy for meat, but human flesh still eats meat, not to mention the meat of birds and animals. In order to lust after the taste of meat, they tried their best to fabricate all kinds of traps and traps and put them everywhere. All living things in the water and on the land were killed. Even if they don't eat, some people often do it for profit.
Dahui, there are people in the world who are unsympathetic and specialize in tragedy and violence, just like Luo Cha. If they see the abundance and strength of all beings, they will think of raw meat and say that raw meat can be eaten. Da Hui, whether it is suicide or homicide or the cause of death is unknown, you should not eat meat, so I won't allow this to happen.
Dahui, in the future, stupid people will become monks in my laws, talk nonsense about precepts, confuse my teachings, slander me, and say that I am allowed to eat meat, and I used to eat meat myself. Dahui, if I allow people to eat meat, I will have no sympathy. I am not a yogi, a monk or an exhibitionist. How can I persuade good men and women to treat all beings as their own children and cut off all the meat? Dahui, the ten prohibitions and three permits I mentioned everywhere are for people to gradually cut meat and learn. What I said in the Bible is that whether you commit suicide or kill people, you should eat meat. Dahui, I didn't allow my disciples to eat meat in the past, now and in the future. Dahui, all meat is unclean to monks.
Dahui, if a stupid person slanders Tathagata and allows him to eat meat, and he eats meat himself, when he knows that this person is entangled in bad karma, he will never fall into the cycle of evil deeds and will never divorce. Dahui, how can my disciples eat unclean flesh and blood if they don't eat delicious food in the world of desire? Great wisdom, hearing and feeling only feed on Buddhism, let alone Tathagata? Dahui, Tathagata is not an omnivore. I cut off all my troubles, washed away all my habits and achieved compassion, harmony and wisdom. How can I allow my disciples to eat the flesh of their own children, let alone their own flesh?

Someone mentioned the encyclopedia's "three clean meats" again?
In Buddhist terms, the meat that Hinayana Buddhism allows believers to eat is called "Three Meridians Meat".
(Actually, the word "three clean meats" was not said by the Buddha, but was made up by some people who wanted to eat meat. When compared with the minced meat in Shurangama Sutra, we know that the two are in conflict. )
Loose meat should meet three conditions:
First, out of sight is clean, that is, I didn't see the tragic scene of animal death with my own eyes;
Second, the ears can't hear the killing, that is, no one hears the sound of animals being killed;
Third, don't commit suicide, that is, don't commit suicide just to eat.
In fact, this man has explained the Buddha's explanation of the three golden meats:
Nirvana Sutra Volume IV:
The Nirvana Sutra was read four times: "Ye Jia Bodhisattva answered the words of the White Buddha: Buddha! Why doesn't Yun Tathagata listen to predators? Good people! The meat-eating husband broke the great sadness. Ye Jia added: Why did the Tathagata hear the monk say that he should eat three kinds of clean meat first? Ye Jia! These are three kinds of clean meat. 」
After the sentence of Nirvana Sutra, there is actually the same statement as Shurangama Sutra, saying why meat eaters don't write it? Out of context:
Bodhisattva Ye Jia answered the Buddha's words. Buddha. Why are there ten impurities? Even nine kinds of pure but not listening. The Buddha told Ye Jia. It is also formed by things step by step. When you know it, you are breaking meat. Bodhisattva Ye Jia answered the Buddha's words. Clouds and Tathagata praised fish as delicious. Good people. I don't think fish is a delicacy either. I said sugar cane, japonica rice, honey, all grains, black stone honey, cheese, butter and so on are all delicious foods. Although all kinds of clothes should be used. The color of this animal should be bad. Besides, greed smells like fish. Ye Jia replied. If the Tathagata does not eat meat. There are five kinds of cheese and cream, such as ghee and cooked sesame oil. All the clothes are extravagant. Cobb leather gold and silver jar. If so, such a thing should not be affected. Good people. You shouldn't do what you saw to Bini. All the prohibitions formulated by Tathagata have different meanings. Listen to three kinds of clean meat. Empathy, break ten kinds of meat. Different ideas, so everything is related to the dead. Ye Jia. I forbid my disciples to eat any more meat from today. Ye Jia. Its carnivores walk, live, sit and lie down. All sentient beings are frightened by the smell of their meat. For example, people close to the teacher have been seen by everyone, and the smell of the teacher is also terrible.
Good people. It would be disgusting if people spit garlic. The others smelled the smell and gave it up. People with foresight still don't want to get close to this situation. So do carnivores. All beings smell their flesh. I know everyone is afraid of death. Land, water, air, land, life and so on. It is said that this person is our complaint. So Bodhisattva is not used to eating meat. Show meat for all beings. Although you are eating now, you are not actually eating. Good people. Bodhisattva doesn't have enough clean vegetables. Should she eat meat? Good people. I am a hundred years old after nirvana. Four sages know nirvana.
After the orthodox method died out, it appeared in the image method. When a monk looks like a monk, he abides by the law, reads less books, recites scriptures, is gluttonous and keeps healthy. The clothes are rough and ugly. Gaunt and free from weeds. Cattle and sheep are responsible for firewood. It's good to have a beard, hair and claws. Although the robes are like hunters. Look, Xu Xing is like a cat and a mouse. Singing often is talking about capital. I have Lohan. Many diseases, pains, sleep, feces and filth. Greed at home and abroad. If you are dumb. Brahman, etc. It's not a shaman. He's a wizard. Jaken slandered Buddhism. If such people violate the precepts formulated by the Tathagata, they will have dignity. It is said that fruits cannot be separated from impurities. And that teach of esoteric secrets. Feel free to say classic. And the saying goes: If you come and listen to us, eat meat. Since the birth of this statement, the Buddha said that this is a mutual lawsuit! Each of them is called the son of Sam.
There are many shamans and so on. Take the fish's hand and eat the stored raw grain. Hold the oil bottle and cover it. Close relationship with kings, ministers and elders. Zhan Xiang, the star is diligent in practicing medicine. Raise handmaiden, gold, silver, coloured glaze, car canal, Kate Ma, pear, pearl, coral, tiger, pearl, jade and shellfish, and all kinds of fruits. Learning all kinds of skills, painters work in clay. Make books, teach and take root. Curse magic and combine various drugs to promote geisha, music and fragrant flowers to heal the body. Pupu is good at learning Go. If there is a monk who can leave such evil deeds. Said he was a disciple of my true self. When Ye Jia answered the Buddha's words. Buddha. All monks and nuns live because of him. If you eat mixed meat while begging. How can clouds get clean food? Buddha said Ye Jia. When washing with water, make it different from meat before eating. If the tableware is contaminated with meat. But it makes boring listening innocent. If you see more meat in the food, you shouldn't eat it. All fresh meat should not be eaten. The eater offended. I sang "Broken Meat System" today. If you talk extensively, you can't stop. On the arrival of nirvana. Yes, it's called being able to ask and answer.
This sentence has made it very clear that the Buddha did not listen to the fallacy of the three classics. As mentioned above, even if you haven't seen or killed the meat, you haven't heard of it, but if you eat it, your body will still be unclean, smelly, sore and rotten, and it will still keep heaven and man away from you, Amitabha away from you, wild dogs and bugs like you, carnivores will go crazy and suffer.
Three lean meat is only a stopgap measure, and breaking meat is the purpose! -Nirvana Sutra
